Description: | A possible Bronze Age "bun" ingot of copper alloy. It is a rounded lump of copper alloy which is roughly D shaped in section. The surface is pitted and there are small bubbles in the metal. Modern damage revaeals the metal to be a bright copper colour but the surface is patinated to a smooth bright turquoise in areas, with patches of dark green and purple in other areas. Compare many other examples on the PAS database. It is also possible that this object is casting waste of unknown date.
